They are clearfelling this forest for woodchips. In fact, the stand we were trying to see on this drive was gone when we got there (our notes were five years old). It's very wrong.
I find rainforest a very difficult subject. A fantastic sight when you are there can turn into a mass of confusing detail in the corresponding 2-d image. I put these strong features in the foreground in an attempt to get some depth into the scene. Fog would have been ideal, but I wasn't so blessed. I think the pan crop also helps to reduce unnecessary detail, but I am not sure about the framing on the left side. I included as much of the background as I had to the left of the tree, but perhaps it is not enough and I should have cropped in a bit. Sky was overcast which I think works better than the full sun I had to deal with last time I tried a shot like this.
We were back in Tassie over the long weekend, and without internet access, so this is the first of a few catch-up uploads
